Four Down

(Only four months in and I already blew it and forgot to put the monster in the picture. Sigh.)

I weighed Annabel on our home baby scale (well, technically it’s Meghan‘s scale, but she won’t need it for a few more months) on the 21st and she weighed fourteen pounds. Then we went on our travel spree, so Annie’s four month appointment with Dr. Looove wasn’t until the end of last week. In six days, she’d gained HALF A POUND. I mean…that’s crazy, right? It seems crazy to me.

Her length is in the 50th percentile, and her head and weight are in the 75th percentile. That just blows our minds. Madeline’s head was the only thing that ever made it to average on the charts. Her length was in the 25th percentile, and her weight was never on the chart. It’s hard to reconcile how easily Annabel gains weight compared to Madeline. She/we really had to work for every single ounce.

Annie’s chub is so stinking cute:

Her attitude is even cuter:

I am in the bath you guys! Don’t put this on the interwebs!

Just wait until I get a picture of her pouty lip. You will be powerless.

In all, she’s still just so chill and when we get excited about one of her accomplishments, she looks at us like, “what? Can’t everyone do this?”

Solid foods are on the horizon. I’m pretty sure that might push her into the 100th percentile for weight.

She is crazy adorable! I’m sure would get up to much mischief with my Angus, born just two months earlier than her. He too lost his big sister. They are so special these babies born after such a huge loss.
Love the chub and the “tude!
xo

Whoa! Another three pounds and four inches and she will be the same size as my about-to-turn-two year old (who was not premature, and is healthy but petite). Go Annie The bath pic is my favouritest ever. You tell ’em!

She is a cutie and you’re right, that little pout in the bath tub makes you go “AAAwww”!!! Did the rocker Chic out fit I bought and set her diwn ever fit her or did just outgrow it before she wore it. Ohh well, at least I KNOW funky coat will fit her!!

Glad to hear she’s feeling better and it is so amazing to chat with you & Mike. Ya gotta LOVE the computer!1!

I love fat babies. I love baby fat rolls. Little chunky babies are too cute. Both my kids went through a fat stage where I could eat them with a spoon. Yours is adorable. I love the videos you make of her.

Aww, happy 4 months, big girl! When I saw this post I almost barfed. Don’t take that personally, it’s only because it made me realize MY baby (who is just a few weeks younger than Annabel) will be 4 months very soon. Egads. Where is time going? Slooooooow down, time!

Too cute! What type of bathtub do you use? We are having bath “issues” as I can’t seem to find a system that doesn’t kill my back or soak the bathroom (tub on the floor) or freeze the little lovey (bathing in the kitchen).

OMG I can’t believe how much I love a baby that’s not mine. And that isn’t related to me. And that I actually never have met. But maaaaaaaannnn is that one cute kid. If delicious were a noun, it would be Annie.

I am in love with that tub pic and her chub. So funny how they lose their hair too. The difference in our own children amazes me. My 19mo old is about the size her sister was when she was 3!!!! and her head has been in the 75th percentile since she was about 3 months old. Also, one was bald forever and the other has a mop on her head. I don’t get it.

great to see baby pics of her, does not matter if she is in the bath or out. Pretty cool that she can stand with only one support hand… Watch her!

Aw, I love the chub! My Elise is the same way and her older brother was always on the small end. I can’t get enough of the chubby thigs and cheeks! Elise is a month behind Annabel and weighs the same — LOL, what porkers! She’s adorble. I want that little bathtub you have because E has pretty much outgrown her infant tub but is a little young for the bath sitter we have.

Love, love, love her “tude”!!!! That look is adorable! My neice has what we call her “Winston Churchill” look.
Can’t believe Annie is 4 months already!!! Where has the time gone?!
She just gets cuter day-by-day. Wonder what color her hair will grow back in???
PS-Thanks for the birth announcement~love it!

It’s so neat that she fills out her purple outfit now! Even neater is being able to look back at the earlier month pictures and see how it changes on her, and how her facial features change too. Beautiful!
